I can't think of one person out there, who doesn't like cookies. OK, so maybe there is one, but I've never met them. If you like oatmeal and you like chocolate, I think I could be safe in saying "you're going to love these". The extra bonus being they are vegan, gluten free and delicious!
They are incredibly easy to make with a surprisingly delicate, crispy texture.
3/4 cup gluten free baking flour ( I like Bob's)
1/4 quick cooking oats
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/3 cup sugar ( Maple sugar works great but is crazy expensive)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup safflower or sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
Preheat oven 350f
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine all the liquid ingredients. Then mix both together. With a large spoon, scoop approx. 2 tablespoon size balls of dough onto oiled baking sheet. They will spread out as they cook, so leave enough room between each cookie.
Bake until golden brown, approx. 10 to 15 minutes, but watch them because they can go from under cooked to burned pretty quickly.
Leave them on the tray to settle, for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling tray.
You'll want to be careful because they can fall apart at this point easily.
I usually use two spatulas to transfer them.
Let them cool completely before serving.
Enjoy!
These are DELICIOUS! Had to make a second batch as the kids more or less inhaled the first one!
